The internet allows me to communicate with you, which I really enjoy. I have friends that keep a gratitude journal and have found it helpful.it doesn’t have to be big but can be as simple as enjoyed a movie today or the sun was out. Hopefully this will help you. Most of all though, please wake up knowing people are excited to read your books and go to sleep knowing people are having fun reading your books.

Reading is one of my escapes since I now have become physically disabled as well. Please know your readers sincerely appreciate your books. They are important, but you are the priority. We appreciate that you can only write as your health permits. I wish you peace and comfort that we support you from afar.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867352135839335829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664724872555829736.post-38104907824198672022019-03-31T15:52:45.920-07:002019-03-31T15:52:45.920-07:00Carolyn, Although you may not realize it, there ar...Carolyn, Although you may not realize it, there are many appreciative readers similar to me. Living with significant disability and severely restricted on many levels, books (especially cozy mysteries) provide a vicarious escape from the hardcore, difficult existence my genetic inheritance determined at the moment of creation unbeknownst to my parents. Those works, a labor of love, help me maintain my sanity in a life filled with lots of extremely difficult unknowns. Your books and those of other superb authors are like a lifeline. Getting lost in a plot can eliminate a negative state of mind of bring up laughter so marked tears flow. Honextly, I try very hard to to openly acknowledge one thing I am grateful for at the start and end of every day. It does help. I know Summer appreciates your efforts and so do i. So you now have two individuals to be grateful for today! I realize you do not know me, but trust me when I say everyday is a gift. Life is precious and precarious. My family and service dog, Susy, are my greatest tangible blessings. They are priceless gifts. I'm positive you have some as well. Hoping you have a wonderful evening and great tomorow.servedogmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18051891451657688679noreply@blogger.com
